Community

Social Responsibility

We have chosen to practice law in Sonoma County, but, more importantly, we raise our families and make our homes here, and so believe in investing in our community. Our attorneys and staff are involved in the community at every level. We are volunteers, youth athletic coaches, school volunteers, fundraisers, and board members.
